Oh. It is.

(never looked in that manual)

And it still works on VMS Alpha.

$ type myteco.for
       program myteco
       integer*4 dot, z
       character*255 text
       call lib$get_foreign(fnm,,fnmlen)
       call teco$init()
       call teco$load_text('ABCDE')
       call teco$set_dot(1)
       call teco$delete_text(3)
       call teco$set_dot(0)
       call teco$pointers(dot, z)
       call teco$get_text(text)
       write(*,*) z, text(1:z)
       end
$ for/tie myteco
$ link/nonative myteco + sys$input/opt
sys$library:tecoshr_tv/share
$
$ run myteco
           2 AE

(the code is not using TECO commands, but that is because
I don't know TECO commands)
